Masseria Fumarola, Martina Franca, Puglia, Italy
One for the bucket list (where else can you sleep in a palmento – an area once employed for the production of wine, or beneath the vaults of a traditional trullo – the cone-shaped hut-like structures so iconic of Puglia)?
And that's not all that makes Masseria Fumarola so uniquely special. Just like the ambience, the furnishings are ancestral: think wrought-iron beds, old doors adapted to cubbies, tables obtained from cartwheels; tasty breakfasts and garden-fresh lunches are served in the old manger hall; and relaxation comes in the form of a secluded swimming pool and nature trails amongst 14 acres of century-old woodland.
